Externally not so much, but the Kelvin bridge looks like it could have evolved into the Shenzhou or Discovery.
Yeah, they weren't allowed to include anything from the movies in TV and vice-versa back then.
Wasn't that debunked within days of it being reported, making it another example of how piss-poor communications were with behind the scenes folks at the time, just like the 25% debacle?
I recall reading somewhere they were writing around the Romulan supernova at one point and making sure not to feature it because they had issues doing so. But I also recall the interview with the Disco S1 writer who thought they couldn't reference anything from ANY of the movies... so it's possible even the powers that be had no clue what they were doing.
No, the correct Klingon pronunciation would sound fine (as in SFS and TUC). The Disco Klingons just spoke too slowly and their teeth made them mumble. You can't easily make sounds like on Okrand's Klingon CDs (Power Klingon, Conversational Klingon, Klingon Language Lab) with that much stuff in and around your mouth. A lot of previous Klingons made horrible mistakes (looking at you, Gowron), but Kruge, Chang, and Martok got it right.
By the time ST: D started EVERYTHING was back under the CBS umbrella rights wise. I do think it was a choice to 'not mix the streams' and make fans think it was set in the JJ Trek-verse. (Not that the other production elements didn't stop such arguments within the fanbase.

And yet, Voq/Tyler sounded the same with and without the makeup.
I thought they had re-merged into one Company again in 2016 <--- There were discussions at that time but ultimately the merger at that time was called off. That said in 2019 they finally DID merge back into one company; so at this point; CBS does hold the rights to everything Paramount has -- or given the re-branding Paramount now has rights to everything CBS had.
T'Kuvma was the worst, he ruined it in the first few seconds already XD
Kruge sounded absolutely awful. T'Kumva was better for me.
But you have no way of knowing that they won't do that. Having the Klingons play a secondary role doesn't mean they won't be broadening their horizons and going new places as well. The Klingons played a peripheral part in TMP when facing V'Ger, in ST:IV when the BoP took the crew back in time to save Earth, and in ST:V when they flew to the center of the galaxy.
Kruge sounded the way he did because that was Christopher Lloyd's voice. It wasn't caused by the prosthetic interfering with their ability to speak easily and clearly, like the Disco Klingons.
Sure but the end result was worse to my ear. While Discovery had a little marble mouth Kruge didn't sound, believable to me. It's a fine line with a made up language to strike. Kruger just doesn't work for me always. I think that's the big part. Kruge works in his first scene and there is a level of intensity that sells it. Similarly when he orders a hostage killed. But, it's uneven.
Writers and lawyers don't overlap (except in the awful example of the late 80s). Possibly the writers thought they couldn't use any Abrams references. Possibly the lawyers would say it'll probably be OK. And the writer would reply 'Probably isn't good enough, we have to shoot on Monday and any lawsuit would be a nuisance. So I'll play safe, no reference."
